Aftercare with Saniderm

Saniderm (or similar transparent film) keeps a fresh tattoo sealed from friction and airborne grit while still allowing oxygen exchange. Follow your artist's specific instructions first — this page is a general guide only.

• Wash hands before touching the film or tattoo.
• If fluid builds excessively under the film, or edges peel and expose the tattoo, remove per artist timing.
• After removal: gentle wash, pat dry, thin balm if advised.
• No sun, no soaking, no picking.
